Still, I guess the Ottawa media needs to play up insignificant victories over the Leafs because historically the Sens haven’t scored any major ones on the ice.

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:39:54 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62940#comment-27799Classic case of a reporter creating a news story to write about. What should be reported on is that NHL fans as a whole are concerned about the process – be it Leaf fans, Flyer fans, Blue Jackets fans. To say that Leaf fans are ‘whining?’ not even close – I’d lean toward ‘indifference’. However, the writer is playing to his audience and writing what they want to hear regardless of whether the story is based on fact.

“Toronto will someday win a Stanley Cup and parade down Yonge St.
It’s nice to dream anyway. And I say that as a long-time suffering Leaf fan.”
